Texas AD Perrin says Strong to be evaluated after next game

Several reports Sunday night have Strong’s dismissal imminent, perhaps as soon as Monday, while others have school officials waiting until after the regular season finale with TCU Saturday to announce a decision many have expected most of the season. Now that the shoe’s reportedly dropped, Texas players seem uniformly devastated. Strong is owed a buyout of $10.7 million for the remaining two years on his contract, a fee which would.

If Strong is indeed done, he will finish with a win-loss record under.500 (currently at 16-20) in his three seasons at the Longhorns coach.

“You have to get everyone to rally back”. He brought an SEC pedigree and a defensive background to Texas and helped the team to a bowl game in his first season.

But with Perrin’s statement Sunday night, and the tone-deafness of it, it’s hard to say what the protocol would be if the Longhorns win against TCU and earn a bowl bid.

The moment Wyman’s field goal went through the uprights, the Jayhawks (2-9, 1-7) poured off the sideline and into a jubilant pile with thousands of students. They also gave up 555 total yards to the Pokes.

However, he has yet to post a winning season at Texas and is unlikely to do so in 2016 after the loss to the Jayhawks.

Kansas players and fans celebrate after defeating Texas in overtime of an NCAA college football game in Lawrence, Kan., Saturday, Nov. 19, 2016. Quarterback Shane Buechele threw three interceptions and 165 yards at a 17-of-26 clip.

UT has a 5-6 record as it heads into the final game of the season on November 25 against TCU. It didn’t feel that way early, as the game’s first snap resulted in a 75-yard touchdown connection for Texas on a play that should have gone for 5. Year 3 promised improvement, but only delivered marginally.

Texas’ president and AD nearly certainly have to go all-in on Houston coach Tom Herman now, offering him anything he wants in the belief Herman can take this team to that next level. ESPN later confirmed the report.

Lanning ran for 171 yards for the Cyclones (3-8, 2-6 Big 12), who scored their most points since beating Colorado State 69-0 in 1980.

This season has arguably been even more disappointing for the Longhorns, as many teams need a couple of seasons to start figuring things out under a new coach. The expectations in Austin were not necessarily unrealistic..

The move opens one of the highest-paying and highest-pressure coaching jobs in college football. Texas should compete for a Big 12 title, if not the national title, every single year. (Counting the number of times Mack Brown lost to Kansas…still coming up with zero). It’s not like the program has been near the top of the mountain and fallen short lately. They believed he could get Texas turned around. Or even take it with you? “Honestly, he’s a man of his word, and he’s literally never going to let us be forgotten”.
